Thomas Hannich lives and works on both sides of the Atlantic – in Hamburg and in New York City. After studying photography, Thomas began to develop his personal picture idiom when he started working as a freelance photographer. His still life photography relies on the overdrawing and heightening of textile qualities and surfaces, lending the objects he photographs an aura of exceptional desirability. The desaturated color quality of his landscapes, on the other hand, invokes pangs of longing and nostalgia that one gets from a faded picture postcard.
